FLEXFLY Issue

[rcc31 4]

Hey guys,

I am trying to create a T-intersection using FLEXFLY's and this issue keeps coming up. Am I doing this wrong? Any tips? Thanks!

Is your intersection on the same level? If yes, that's the culprit. Use L1 for the right to bottom part and use L2 for the bottom to left part. If you placed on the different level, your curve is placed too close. I'll summon @rsc204 here.

Yeah, flex-stacking, as it's called, isn't supported because of how much code is needed. They need to be completely separate with no overlap.

In this screenshot I was using L1 and L2, so I guess the problem would be that they are too close? Are there any tutorials or examples anyone has of creating a RHW T-Intersection? I am just pretty lost trying to make this work. Thanks for the help!

Ah got it. Then with this, how are RHW T-intersections made? I have been trying to create this T connection between two RHW-4's but with no luck.

The trick I've found is to avoid crossing on the curve, that seems to be where most issues crop up. 

While I'm not a flexfly expert by any means, I just built a flexfly T interchange that has both a L0 to L1 and a L0 to L2 ramp and ran into this a lot. 
I've tried to highlight the relevant bits, so hopefully this ends up being useful to you.

If the crossing section goes under/over a either a flew curve, or a height transition it will usually break in the method seen in your screenshots.

Yes. You can only have crossing on the straight line section of the flyover, not the flyover curve itself.

Huge thank you to everyone who commented, ended up with a functional T-intersection after some trial and error.

That looks really nice!

Thank you! Terrible picture quality but hopefully a decent intersection

Easy way to get quality shots smaller than the upload limit, on windows at least, is to hit print screen in SC4, then open paint and hit ctrl+v. You can then save it as a jpg and you'll get an image around 1mb in size @1920x1080
